Giving peanut butter and chocolate a run for their money we’ve put tgether two other favorites: beer and books. The Twin Cities edition features a friend of The Brewery and one of the busiest guys in beer: Christian DeBenedetti.

As editor-in-chief of the Weekly Pint and author of award-winning travel guide THE GREAT AMERICAN ALE TRAIL Christian will lead a discussion of the top beer destinations with Twin Cities’ own Joseph Alton, editor of The Growler. The writers will share stories from their own adventures and offer inside info on their top brews, favorite spots and new trends in craft beer.

A dollar of every ticket sold will go to the venerable Land Stewardship Project.
